Upper bound of norm of matrix difference

1.7k Views Asked by At

Given matrices $A$ and $B$, I can use the reverse triangle inequality to get a lower bound on the norm of the difference $$||A|| - ||B|| \leq ||A-B||$$

Is there a way to get an upper bound for the general case or for any special case?

Well, by the ordinary triangle ineq, you have $$ \| A - B \| = \| A + (-B) \| \le \|A \| + \|-B \| = \|A\| + \| B \|. $$ The case where $B = -A$ shows that this bound is tight.
